i know i've talked about this guy before, but i just love his work so much. he does these murals all over philadelphia, but this is his magic garden (1020 south st, philadelphia) (i think made round 1995) thats kind of like his centre piece. i love this kind of art, that has such a positive influence on its environment, using mostly just junk as materials. and actually doing something, making something. i want to make things. like martin creed :] only probably not actually like his work.
